SHPC Seeking Volunteers for Patriot's Day Ceremonies

Volunteers Needed for 2013 Colonial Fair at Foss Park, Monday, 4/15

SOMERVILLE - The

City of Somerville's Historic Preservation Commission is seeking volunteers for

the 2013 Patriot's Day ceremonies, scheduled for Monday, April 15th

from 10:00 to 11:30 a.m. at Foss Park.  Help

the City re-live Paul Revere's historic ride from Boston through Somerville and

onto Lexington and Concord.  Adults and high school students are needed to

volunteer at the City's annual Patriots Day Colonial Fair.

 

 

Volunteers will help residents learn about life in the late

1700s by leading Colonial era games, serving refreshments, and distributing and

stamping Colonial Passports.  To set the scene, all volunteers will dress

in Colonial era clothing, and we have clothing to lend and tips for what to

wear of your own.  We'll also teach you games to lead, including hop

scotch, cat's cradle, hoop rolling and ring toss.  Volunteers are needed to help set up

beginning at 9:00 a.m., and to break down until noon.

 

 

If you are interested in volunteering, please contact

Brandon Wilson at BWilson@somervillema.gov,

or 617-625-6600 ext 2532.
